Falling ill over the Christmas holidays is the last thing anyone wants.
But if you do find yourself in need of health care professionals over the Christmas and New Year period, the Department of Health has issued advice along with the opening hours of certain services.
A spokesperson said: "As we head into the holidays, the Health and Social Care system including the five Health and Social Care Trusts, GPs, Pharmacists and Dentists, want to assure everyone that arrangements are in place should you or a member of your family become ill or have an accident over the Christmas and the New Year holiday period.
